- 5 years ago
According to Earther, the death toll in Indonesia has risen to 429 in the wake of a tsunami.
The tsunami struck the islands of Java and Sumatra near the Sunda Strait over the weekend.
The tsunami was triggered by volcanic activity on the island of Anak Krakatoa, which caused underwater landslides at high tide.
Since early warning systems are designed to sound an alarm after an earthquake, the tsunami struck the islands without warning.
